Undead Kingdom

Revenant's Revenge, Book 1

By: Andrew Karevik

Narrated by: Daniel Wisniewski

As a mere peasant, I can't say that my life was anything but a slog.

I struggled every day, looking to put something on the table, but it was my life, and no one had a right to take it. Especially not Eris Lanyer, lord of the city, the very same who was supposed to keep people such as myself safe! The nobleman killed me without a second thought for the sole purpose of testing the blade he had just acquired!

So here I am, burning with such a rage at this flagrant lack of justice. My hate is so immense that I'm unable to pass to the afterlife, and so I return as a Revenant.

If no one noticed my existence among the living, they sure as all hell are going to take note of me in my death… or rather undeath! A little pact with a dark deity later, and I'm now capable of growing my powers through the accumulation of Discordance shards.

Waging war against the mighty, causing mayhem, and striking fear in the hearts of mortals will help me unlock new abilities that will bring me closer to my ultimate goal: build an Undead Kingdom and run Eris' little world into the ground! Because I don't just want the man to pay for his sins, oh no! I want to make him suffer like I did my entire life, and I will not rest until he has tasted what true misery and despair feel like.

But wait, why can I only seem to shriek and snarl when I try to speak? And what is that atrocious pain and hunger that won't let me rest for even a second? As it turns out, life as a revenant is a little more complicated than I first thought… Oh, here's someone. Maybe he'll be able to help?

*Shrieks*

Oh boy…

Better than expected

I’m a sucker for the morally murky main character. This was a quick read with a dark MC and more moral nuance than most books in the genre. Light on the litrpg side but still entertaining. Will try the next in the series and maybe more from this author.

Really enjoyed it

Narrator was fantastic. I was surprised at how much I really liked this book and I’m excited to go onto the next one in the series.

Shame, next time. lol

Truly enjoyable. The plots, setbacks, comebacks, manipulation, multiple perspectives and characters are sound. I see a lot of potential in the universe system and magic system, great stuff. Oh, book one's ending is NICE! ha ha ha!

Thank you for the experience and great work.

To slow

The plot is good, and I like the MC. The magic system also is fun. But the story felt like a slow burn and the narrator didn’t help that. No book 2 for me.

Best book I have read all year.

where to start? Definitely the narrator that is the perfect voice for a rising lord of the undead. some people might not like the literal game mechanics in it, but it plays so natural You quickly get used to it and begin to agree and argue with the choices they make. it's a fantastical, dark journeyI can't recommend enough.
